    Nah. Hopkins could come back at 60 and would still be favored against Pavlik.

    For his last fight BHOP deserves a soft touch to make a good exit.

    The guy has fought the best all his career and those he hasn't fought ducked him, so he deserves an easy retirement bout. I mean, what is he, 52 this year?

    He could announce he's facing the winner of Zurdo/AA, Ward vs Barrera is all but signed even according to Ward himself, GGG is free though.

    I'm pretty sure it won't be Stevenson, incidentally, because I was under the impression there are still bad feelings all around with Haymon/Stevenson trying to play Hopkins, before he played them and took the Kovalev fight.

    BTW, I saw what you sent. Will try and check it tonight and let you know.

    :good

    He turned 51 a few weeks ago. But the idea is he will be facing another good opponent. Apparently one who he'd be the underdog against.

    Now, given his age and the fact he was thoroughly outclassed last time out, over a year ago.... well, maybe he'd be the underdog against many guys he'd have previously been favored against. Not sure.

    Not a chance it'll be Stevenson.....unfortunately, I'd love to see Hopkins posssibly humiliate him.:lol:

    Thanks, I think you'll like him.:good

    Chavez Jr makes the most sense and it would sell.

    I don't think it will be him, but I hope it's him or Golovkin and not Ward. Given those 3.

    Hopkins has a history of fighting the best available competition. Hell, even when he was 2 months shy of 50, he took on the monster which is Kovalev back at a time where P4P con artists Pac and Floyd were still playing footsies.
